    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I humbly beg our Members to have confidence that what we did was what is good for us. We are also faced with the reality that if we do not have an agreed version, then our county governments are going to be stuck. We are going to grind to a halt. Whatever we are using now, and what the county governments are using is going to end by December. All of us who have been going to the counties know the problems that the counties are suffering from. If we are the protectors of these counties, having been led ably by the team that is there and we have been given the figures that the National Treasury was able to display to us, I truly urge that we support. I am asking colleagues to have faith that what we did was the best deal that we could secure for us. I am also asking Hon. Members to look at the other threat of our own counties coming to a grinding halt. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, with those many remarks, I also want to encourage county governments to increase their own source revenue. We felt, even in that Mediation Committee, that we need to do more so that we can reduce the reliance on the equitable share. I beg to move and ask Sen. Sifuna, who was also a Member of this Committee, to second this Motion. I thank you."
